Hi to all.
Please help me to clarify this situation:

There is a 4-wheel cart powered by friction drive using the dc motor. The cart will carry heavy stuffs on the top. what radius of wheels will be able to overcome a 1 cm high and 0.7 cm wide and 14 cm long speed bump(it is like a thin stick)?

For ex. here are some data based on the picture attached.
r1 = 0.0475 inch
w1 = 490 rad/s
w2= don't know.
r2= (not 1.75 inch in picture)I don't know, r2 is what i am trying to calculate.
mg= (5kg) (9.8)


Which formulas must I use to determine appropriate radius of wheel to overcome the speed bump easily?

Thank you all for help!!!
